floor joists were recycled as stair treads

fire doors and other no longer functional objects served as inspiration for furniture

and works of art

Rough materials from the old building (ex: floors and tin fire doors) are contrasted

with new, smoother materials (drywall, MDF and steel).

MATERIAL INSPIRATION:PRESERVATION & ADAPTIVE REUSE

When one enters the museum, its a busy, welcoming space.

Daylight from the light wells guides people up and into the building.

Inspiration: Human experience of

moving through space in sites industrialbuildings

Each major threshold is marked by a

shroud, a vernacular doorway form

found in many of the sites industrial

buildings.

Visitors enter through the shroud and

experience successively increasing

ceiling heights until a soaring two-story

volume is revealed.

Programmatic elements are articulated

as objects placed within the factory-like

volumes of the building.

DESIGN PROCESS


22/26

The grand stair acts as a conveyance system, similar to those found throughout the plant.

At the second level the stair takes on circular form, a detail that draws from the delicate steel

stairs that circle the upper levels of the blast furnaces and pays homage to the steelworkers

experience of moving vertically through the plant.

DESIGN PROCESS


23/26

Its glass and concrete

exterior is oriented

along an east-west axis

to stand toe-to-toe with

the now silent blast

furnaces of Bethlehem

Steel.

The experience of the

building is fully realized

in the interior, where

spaces bring visitorsinto intimate visual

contact with the iconic

blast furnaces as the

permanent backdrop

for activities within.Site section

DESIGN


24/26

The building takes its cues from authentic materials that speak to the history of the place andembracing an economy and function consistent with the industrial typology of Bethlehem Steel.

The building is wrapped with locally manufactured pre-cast concrete panels, which are mounted

with their rough, handscreed surface facing outward.

The panels celebrate both the process and the people that produced them by revealing the

marks of their production.
